Debut Winner a Capital Result

Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 8

Few young stallions have maintained their popularity as strongly as this one through their first five seasons at stud and as a result this sire is going to make a big impact over the next 12 months and beyond.

Newgate Farm’s Capitalist had a debut winner at Hawkesbury on Thursday and despite being unwanted by punters the Annabel Neasham trained gelding Token Capitalist was too good for the hot favourite Lonrioli winning the 1300m maiden by nearly two lengths.
